While enabling auto merge we are facing that bitbucket compares the string differences for spaces

[ANUBHAV SINHA]

So to be more clear

we have our default branch as develop

and our release branches are like release/R-1.0

release/R-1.1

we have enabled automerging so any commit pushed into release branch eventually end  up to develop branch, but we seldom face issue that it compares extra spaces as well and results into conflicts. Can any one suggest a quick fix for the scenario.
